I will try my best to describe this form of delay as Samsung TS was unable to find a solution.  This started happeing with my S21P and thought it would go away when upgrading to the S24P but it didn't... I will use the count down beeps of a timer as my example.  If I use my phone and use the audible countdown timer.  I can hear each beep starting from 3, 2,  and 1 but if I connects a BT speaker (any) and there is no audible signal being sent to the speaker for a few seconds.  The BT will go into a kind of sleep mode and when a signal is present.  Its takes a second for audible signal to register through the speaker and essentially wake and fade-in the audio versus play immediately which results in missing the first second or so of the audible content.  In the case of the countdown timer.  It will miss 3 but audibly register the 2 and 1.  However, if I perform the countdown directly through my phone.  You can audibly hear all the beeps countdown from 3, 2, and 1.  Another example is security alerts.  If im using my phone for audio.  I will hear the full alert of, "Motion Detected".   Whereas when playing through a connected BT speaker.  I will only hear the end of the alert, "...Detected" and not catching the "Motion..." part.  Note, if an audible signal is already playing through the speaker and then the alert notification is received.  You will hear the full alert of "Motion Detected" or the full countdown of 3, 2, and 1.  Note, I have reset the BT settings but still did not solve which leads me to beleive its in the BT software/build or an update that is now causing this sleep/fade-in issue.  This may not be an issue for the average user but for those who rely on precise timing for start and/or count down.  Its frustrating.  Samsung stated they are looking into it but for now there appears to be no immeidate solution.  Anyone experience this and more importantly resolved it.  Please LMK and thanks in advance!

I think this is just how Bluetooth connection works, or how Samsung or Android is trying to save potential battery for battery powered Bluetooth devices. It only keeps the connection alive when there's audio to stream but otherwise goes into some sort of sleep mode. I'm not sure how this would be able to be resolved though. I noticed similar Bluetooth lags in my car too, when navigation audio is via my car Bluetooth, since it's not constantly saying stuff, every time it says something the first half a second is not audible. I've not tested it but there are a bunch of Bluetooth settings in the developer menu (the main settings) and some for choosing different codecs for example so maybe try some experiments see if something helps.
